Starbucks

I adore the location—a charming Starbucks with fantastic scenery. It's definitely a must-visit spot.

This Starbucks is hidden. It's located on campus, when you visit the Yoda fountain there is a walkway where you can walk toward the back, go for a stroll and you will see it. Friendly staff and I enjoyed my visit. I will recommend it.

It's in The Presidio.❤ They had me at Presidio. We ordered a peppermint mocha to commemorate and remember my son Shane,a beautiful soul whom lived in and loved SF. We lost him 3 years ago to the day. The barista allowed us to split it in 2 cups so we could toast to him. The entire staff were lovely and helpful. I really like the vibe in here. It's a beautiful location.

Favorite Starbucks locay! Absolutely love the location and views from here. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and the access to this Starbucks is lovely too. Always our go-to coffee fix whenever we're around the Golden Gate. You can see the palace of fine arts from here! And the cafe isn't usually crowded like the other ones.

Friendly barista and staff. Great setting. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful views.

A very not in your face starbucks. Quite hidden. Lots of seating inside and outside patio. First time there was a lot of washrooms actually. 2 stalls on the women's side. Lots of packaged options like legume and egg options, variety of sandwiches as well as all the usual stuff.

The Starbucks in the Presidio has to be one of the chillest in the city. This is just a lovely place to have a good cup of coffee, work, chat with friends, or enjoy the park like setting. Nice views too. This is my grandson observing a friendly duck and the Palace of Fine Arts in the distance.

One of the nicest Starbucks around imo. Great place to eat lunch and grab a drink on a beautiful day!

Spectacular location with both indoor and outdoor seating. Usual Starbucks fare, but the staff is much better than average.

Nice to find a star bucks here. On a Sunday, around 2 pm, we ordered a mocha. The cashier Tony, seemed to be lackadasical. The guy with the gruff tone seemed to emulate a crusty sailor. My mocha was a bit sugary; and, at $5.65, kinda spendy. Decor: it's a very nice store with a choice view.

I want to highlight Elaine at Starbucks, as she is a standout barista who consistently goes above and beyond. Her attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for crafting the perfect drink make each visit a delightful experience. Whether it's a classic brew or a customized creation, Elaine's dedication to quality and friendly service shines through. A true gem at Starbucks, making every sip special!

Super friendly staff and great coffee! Bathroom available to customers only and they are clean.

Service is slow, the staff are lazy and unhelpful, and they denied me as a disabled person to use the bathroom 10 minutes before the store closed. These people should these people should all lose their jobs.

I don't usually pay attention to service when it comes to dining out or purchasing food or drinks but this time the lack of service quality is way too annoying. When I go to Starbucks I'm typically asked my name (if they don't get that information already in some other way like from the reward program) and when they take my order they usually will ask about the size of the drink I'd like. I never gave much thought about the importance of that until today at this particular Starbucks when they didn't ask for that information. I assumed that they might have got my name from my credit card and the drink I ordered maybe only comes with one size - until I kept waiting for my drink for more than 15 minutes without hearing anything about the readiness of it even though I stood next to the pickup counter all the time, and when I finally got my drink (which turned out to be ready a while ago) I saw that there was no name associated with it and the name of the drink was written in a way that's not easily recognizable - that's why I stood next to it thinking it's someone else's order. Furthermore I was expecting a tall size because the last time I had this drink it was a tall one - but it came in grande size, they must just assume that I want a grande one? To be fair this Starbucks has a great location - I enjoyed its surrounding area of Presidio. But they really need to train their staff before putting them to work.

Great for convenience but watch out for the barista who upsells you without clearly saying there's a charge. Example: I asked for oatmeal with all the fixings. She asked if I want blueberries too and was not clear that this was an add-on charge and even told me that this was the fruit for the oatmeal. Misleading.

Oooo this cafe is in a cool part of the park Gotta bookmark this for later use Will be back with my laptop and a book

Love this spot but I'm giving it 2 stars because there is an asian girl with a ponytail who is extremely unfriendly and rude. I understand being busy as they often are but she always appears put off and snappy. I used to be a waitress and if you are going to work in customer service and with people, you need to have a better personality. I've gone in several times and her shitty personality is the exact same. She makes you feel completely unwelcome to the point, I don't trust her to make my drink. My friends and I will go elsewhere

Favorite Starbucks locay! Absolutely love the location and views from here. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and the access to this Starbucks is lovely too. Always our go-to coffee fix whenever we're around the Golden Gate. You can see the palace of fine arts from here! And the cafe isn't usually crowded like the other ones.

The staff at this Starbucks are so kind and on point. This wonderful space and these sweet folks more than make up for Starbucks' burnyass coffee.

Quick service, friendly baristas, and well made coffees!! I got a classic iced vanilla latte and it was delicious and ready super quickly. I love this location because they have a really nice outdoor seating area, string wifi if you need to work, and a great view of the park. Would definitely recommend!

So I've been to a lot of Starbucks around the bay and this one is Super awesome, they always makess my drinks perfect! Definitely good attentive service as well!

such a lovely spot! Very peaceful and lots of outdoor space to do work! Wasn't too busy and got my drink quick

You know that I don't really like Starbooks...Starsucks..Starf***. Okay, so today I was going to play tennis and wanted to change scenery by going out to the Presidio. I have never actually been to this Starbucks and had anything. I decided to have a mango dragonfruit refresher tea. Overpriced for the size and too much ice. It was okay, but uh..why bother. Well, just to write a Yelp review for this StarSUCKS! You can hang out in this Starbucks okay. It's for the working people.

I ordered a Venti mocha and received a latte. I realized the chocolate was missing from my drink when it was too late. The latte was delicious.

Beautiful location in the Presidio. Service is variable, depending on the personality and work ethic of the individual behind the counter. There are excellent staff here, but I no longer buy coffee from this location, because there are some staff who are poorly trained, are rude and have poor work ethic, making for an unpleasant experience. I'll buy my daily cup of coffee elsewhere and bring it to the Presidio to enjoy.

#83! I was very surprised to find out when you Yelp "Starbucks in San Francisco" this particular location comes up as number 83! Granted it is not in a particularly high traffic area and it is a bit hidden in that you have to know about the location ! But it is in the most beautiful surroundings of any Starbucks to which I have ever been. Smack dab in the Presidio bordering the Marina District of SF. Think beautiful water features, lots of trees, greenery... nothing short of feeling like you have been transported to a Zen meditation retreat! I could also describe it as a very, very mini Japanese Tea Garden feel (without the admission fee) if you have ever visited that beautiful place in San Francisco. I am usually here on weekends so the hustle and bustle of the 8 to 5 work routine is nonexistent. I read a lot of the Yelp reviewers make note of the high volume traffic at this Starbucks during work hours... Monday through Friday. And I surmise from that, and their one star reviews, that it can get pretty ugly :-) ..lots of people wanting their coffee with stressed out Baristas. So my solid 5-star review is based on visiting this particular Starbucks during weekends and holidays. If you find yourself wandering around the Marina District near the Palace of Fine Arts and you want a quiet moment and a cup of coffee ... treat yourself with this beautiful park-like setting. Dog friendly and kid friendly ....both the Starbucks and the park :-). You can enjoy the Starbucks' outside or indoor seating but I prefer to wander the park and find a bench where I can bask in nature and the beauty of it all. Also noteworthy... the restrooms in the Starbucks' building are really, really nice!!! And no codes....you don't even have to enter the Starbucks to use the restrooms (men and women).... shhh...secret!

Born with good looks and in the fanciest of neighborhoods, this is a Starbucks born privileged. A.k.a. doesn't try too hard, my matcha latte, felt lighter than usual. My almond biscotti stale- old money, old almonds.

Best Starbucks in SF. The staff is outstanding and the location is perfect. Plus very clean and roomy

A very well dressed group of women (coming from a wedding) dropped about $80 at this location and sat at the long main table in the middle of the store in the middle of the day on Saturday. We were boisterous and chatty and having loads of fun when "Ryan" came over and asked us to quiet down because something something "other customers" something, considerate, thank you. I looked around and outside of the other customers who were talking to us and singing along to a song, no one else seemed particularly interested in us. Apparently "Ryan" was tho. I wondered if it was because there were several black women in our group because lord knows black people in Starbucks are plain terrifying. I have added a picture for context. We obviously were made to feel unwelcome and quickly left. Be careful if you want to have too much fun at this location. Especially while black.

All the workers seems not really in a happy moody day. That doesn't make me feel comfort in their place to relax. The bottle of Half & half was empty, I went to front to request for more. That Asian girl pulled out and slammed on the counter and walked away. I was like okay thank you. Not a friendly stafs in that workplace!!!!

This is quite possibly the worst cold brew I have ever had. ask for extra pump of pumpkin sauce in the in the pumpkin cream and they understood it as an extra pump just sitting at the bottom of the cup. If possible, Elaine should be removed from reg. Tenía cara de fuchi, and it just seems like she hates working there.

I was really impressed with how cozy and calm this location is in the morning. Sit by the windows and look at out that Palace of the Fine Arts thing. : ) Especially appreciate the early hours and friendly, capable staff.

Picture it: I walk into this Starbucks wanting my usual. My usual which involves blending coffee and sugar and ice together to create a magnificent scrumptious enchantment of caffeine, a resonance of pure bliss, turning dragons into kittens, akin to gold for the soul. And all the blenders are broken. Because hell is real folks, hell is real.

I love this Starbucks. It's different than the others as it has a lot of seating inside and outside and you can't go wrong being surrounded by the pretty presidio exterior! My bf tends to sit here on the weekends me and my crazy bff go on our semi-annual half marathon runs. What I like about this spot is the bathrooms are also large and clean. Can't beat a place to clean up after a run! Also folks here tend to not be the stinky kind as my bf has mentioned to me on occasions when he'd have to sit at other SF Starbucks locations where the homeless wander in.

Although I'm mad at starbucks for shutting down la boulange, they have quick and convenient spinach feta wraps (which they offer with lil siracha packets now!) Also can't beat the service here, they're always so awesome! Esp the guy with the cool hair and plugs.

This Starbucks is by far the dirtiest I've ever been in. I live in the Presidio and now that Transit cafe is closed this is the only other easy option for coffee. Unfortunately besides being filthy the baristas make terrible coffee as well. This is the 3rd Sunday in a row that I've visited (hoping I'd just hit a random fluke) and it's been the same each week. Plus no milk, no sugar, no napkins this week. I had to as the counter staff who were just standing around talking and seemed annoyed at my request. It's a shame too as locationwise this Starbucks has a prime spot in the Presidio!

A few items I hope the manager of this location sees and corrects 1- with the recent events around Corona Virus, it's absolutely ridiculous that you serve drinks with no lids (leaving them on the counter unattended) 2- You aren't allowed by Starbucks policy to serve hot drinks without sleeves 3- Your bathrooms were disgusting. Understanding they are bathrooms, the smell was horrendous. You had stagnate water caused by a sink being clogged and literally a falling apart cabinet. For such a beautiful area, it was a very unacceptable experience. That being said - the employees were nice.

This Starbucks is in a beautiful location in the Presidio! It's surrounded by walkways and grass so you can grab your coffee and go or stay inside at the tables and people watch. The staff is very friendly and service is super quick! I got a grande white mocha for an afternoon pick me up and it was just what I needed!

Not just any Starbucks...this particular one is located within George Lucas's Letterman Center and caters to the people who work for Lucasfilm, ILM, and Lucasarts - I guess the Star Wars toys and trinkets that adorn a good area of the front area really give that away. Still, the baristas are really nice, the place is clean and beautiful, and the park nearby is gorgeous...I loved grabbing a iced white chocolate mocha and taking pictures of the golden gate bridge in the distance.

I come here regularly and it's always busy. Today it's a light morning with probably 10 customers and 3 workers. While I like the ambience, I've got today that this Starbucks has lost its luster with me. This is not the local, small friendly days of past. No hello, no thank you. What do you want? Anything else? Barney would definitely not stand for this Starbucks. What happened to "Please and Thank you?"

This has to rate as one of the best Starbucks anywhere. An open secret among locals, you might never think to look for one in this spot, a converted military complex amid the sprawling Presidio, now housing Lucas digital media wizardry among other things. There's no big green Starbucks sign, just a couple normal signs with arrows directing you to building A, B, C, D -- or Starbucks. Tell the parking attendant at the gate that's why you're here. Look for the Yoda fountain to the left of the entrance. The Force Awakens here -- with the help of a double or quad espresso. Take your selfie before heading to the rear of the building where coffee awaits. Grab a rare outdoor table if it's a rare warm sunny day. Take a stroll on the beautiful grounds and enjoy views of the domed Palace of Fine Arts and beyond. Pro tip: It's not a bad walk (less than a mile, easy downhill) down the path to the beach at Crissy Field. Also, it's a Starbucks, with all that entails. With parking. In San Francisco. Despite rumors to the contrary, it has free wifi ("Google Starbucks"). I make a habit of going to this one every time I find myself in that part of town. Like many parts of the Presidio and Golden Gate Park, it's a soothing bucolic retreat from the madding city crowds. Enjoy!

This Starbucks can be a bit of a challenge to get to and that's a good thing because it would be even more crowded than it already is. I go here to catch up on paperwork when I'm in San Francisco. Indoor and outdoor seating. When I get tired I go lay under a tree and look out at the Academy of Arts pavilion. The Presidio is one of SFs greatest features IMO.

This branch is in kind of nature.Presidio.Beautiful spot in the city.My work is very close to this branch.I often being here early mornings.EARLY MORNINGS.But there is a huge problem in there.MUSIC.it is very unnecessary and very loud shi?y pop music.Common where is common sense.I don't think anybody wants to listen that kind of sh?t music and that loud.Literally, it ruins my day.You can ask why don't you want to go to other branches or cafes.I like Starbucks coffee and this branch is the only choice that I have.it's because right next to my work. Somebody has to thake care of this issue.

The old lady taking my order was so rude. Other people always seem to busy to help but seem nicer than that old lady in the front. Don't feel welcomed here.

5 for ambiance in one of the prettiest settings you can have a Starbucks. 3.5 for the average coffee but you know that going into the shop. The low score is for the service. The place can get really busy and the Marina which I lived in as a kid can be filled with douche/pushy people so I give the staff somewhat of a pass. On my 3rd visit I showed up at 5:30 when it opened. I grabbed a couple of plastic wrapped packages of chocolate chip cookies from a large basket on the counter and asked for the price. A bald guy who I think was the manager then began to speak loudly to me I wasn't suppose to touch them. I apologized put them back into the basket. He then continued to berate me because he now had to throw the batch etc etc. For the next hour he was short and surly at the register. I had made a mistake, maybe things aren't going well for him outside work but Starbucks is a food service industry.

This place has character. I redeemed my birthday drink at this Starbucks location last year and boy, did they make it interesting! When I ordered and showed them my Starbucks app, the cashier said happy birthday, asked for my name and wrote on the cup. Standard procedure. When my drink was ready, the barista yelled out, "Sandy, the birthday girl!" Wide-eyed and confused, I slowly walk over to get my drink. Two random strangers even said, "happy birthday! We're going to embarrass you now!" Aaahhh, *dies-as-I-find-my-seat-and-try-to-act-casual

Avg SB. Has decent public restroom; no codes. Very nice and tranquil spot.

This is a Starbucks in a beautiful spot. The downside is that the parking lot is controlled by some agro parking attendants. I was meeting some clients for a meeting which ran a little late. Not that long. When I came outside the parking attendant was making a little TOW sign for my motorcycle and was smiling at me like a escapee from a insanasylum. "stick around, you already have a ticket and now you are getting towed" He lectured me about respecting the rules, etc. The lot was half full at best. Just be careful if you park in the only parking nearby. I guess this was meant to be a private starbucks for the local Presidio folks.

The location is great and I love most of the staff members, but the bathrooms are always repulsive. I'm not even a clean person so this says a lot coming from me. Talked to the supervisor who told me there was nothing he could do. Hopefully this post will help them figure it out.

Views: good. Convenience: good. Alternatives: presidio social club and other places on Chestnut. We live and work in the area for the past 10 years and this had always been the place where I took investor meetings and interview after a jog. Today, we went with a friend and had a big meal before that so my husband just ordered a big ice tea and he asked for waters for us. The staff only gave us one so I figure he was too busy I can just grab an empty cup from the no line register and even hand it up as asking for it and intended to share the tab water with my friend. Another staff - Jenn yelled at me "you're not supposed to do that, can't just grab a cup. Your guy asked for a water only" and gave me a dirty look. Wow really after all this time being the place mostly serving all the important and richest people in the building, Jenn still think it's a bright idea to tell a paid customer that they can't have an empty cup over zillions time of over paid ice tea???! I really hope she think so important of herself and get promoted because then this Starbucks would really go out of business. I'm running a consumer startup and this is definitely a lesson of how to prevent your customer not leaving you and taking other people to leave you. Thanks Jenn for a valuable lesson!

Terrible service. I got in early at 7:30AM for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I was one of five customers. The coffee was ready soon. After 7 minutes, I checked on the sandwich. The barista shouted, "I'm working on it! There are a lot of mobile orders!" When the sandwich was ready, he dropped it on the floor, picked it up, and handed it to me. "Didn't that just fall on the floor?" I asked. "The sandwich didn't hit the floor," he said, and handed me the paper bag. Inside, the sandwich had gotten knocked apart, cheese had stuck to the side of the bag. I got no apology, no explanation, just a surly stare.

Everything is great about this Starbucks... the location inside the Presidio, the interior, but the staff, well to be kind, suck. Almost all of them have a major attitude, more than your average SF barista. Not sure what the issue is, but it's consistently bad. I come here once a week (because I have to; no other nearby coffee in the complex). Get your coffee without the attitude and sit outside in the lush green of the Presidio, but don't think you're going to be besties with your barista.

Probably the best kept secret of this city - the Starbucks in the Presidio! Not gonna tell where it is, but it makes for a perfect stop on your Sunday stroll, surrounded by trees and meadows. It even has an outdoor area for the sunny days (yes, sunny days), and, for your convenience, a restroom that is not locked by a code. The staff during my visit was very fast, but not really friendly. Oh well, I can forget about that and just enjoy my Grande Pike out there in the sun.

Probably the best Starbucks I've ever been to (and I used to live two blocks from Pike Place in Seattle, the first Starbucks store). The location is perfect if you have a dog and it's far enough off the beaten track that you have plenty of outdoor options when it comes to enjoying your tasty beverage. The one downside here is that their opening hours are kind of bizarre. There are plenty of people that would go here late in the evening but they seem obsessed with closing early. Unless you've lived on the moon for the past 10 years there's nothing more I can say about this Starbucks except that this is a good location.

Ooooh love this location!! it's beautiful and peaceful! Too bad I only found out about this 8 months after moving to Marina. This is gonna be my go-to coffee shop to work and relax :)!!

This one is for you Tracy A. You said. "Why on earth would anyone write a review about Starbucks? What is there to write about?" Challenge accepted. :-) I'm anti Starbucks. Though throughout the years of travel abroad, Starbucks became so ubiquitous that you start to use it as a refuge when you are homesick. In addition,every conference you go to they give you a gift certificate of $5 Starbucks card. So you keep on reminding yourself that you must use them but you can't bring yourself to a Starbucks. Thus, this is a rare occasion to sing praises of this coffee giant based in Seattle. It's the location that made the difference. Park on Broadway, skip the Lyon Street Stairs, walk through the Presidio, and you are at this Starbucks in less than half an mile. More ambitious walkers / runners should start from Golden Gate Park, then pass through the chaotic Clement and then enter on the side of on 9th and Lake into the Presidio, then continue on down through Presidio and you end up near Lombard and Legion of Honor. A great route. Except one should always plan for a pit stop. Enter this Starbucks. It's strategically located. You can get a bathroom break, free wifi and coffee and things before completing your running/walking route. Take a look at this Building C while at it. Every firm inside of this building seems to be a private equity firm. Interesting. Long table is excellent for doing your scavenger hunt strategy session. We were on foot and did not know what it was. It was the annual play-dash day. It started there. There were two teams of five occupying the long table. The game went all the way to Marina Green. I ended up chatting up with that organizer who choose this very Starbucks as the beginning of the route. He also ended it there as well. The building is very airy and warm, it faces a huge green lawn, and it felt like you are out and about (which you are until that very moment of coming inside of Building C) and so close to the nature. When did Presidio go upscale? Always living in the shadow of the GGP, it's so very much under appreciated. Now, you don't have to worry about that bathroom break you've been dreading about any more. While at it, get yourself a cup of Americano before you head to Crissy Fields. It gets windy. You will need a warm drink on hand. I never saw the Yoda statue but there was a statue of Philo T. Farnsworth, aka the guy who invented TV right next to it, this particular statue in the Presidio by the Starbucks garnished a nice review on NYT three years back. Don't miss it. An added bonus. A great date place. There is a man made pond just down the green lawn. Grab your coffee and things, head to the pond, watch the duckies, and then sit on the bench while holding hands, admiring the pink spring flowers in bloom on the tall branches. You are almost always alone, and it's almost guaranteed to be romantic. All that for just $3 / cup of coffee. You may actually grow to like Starbucks.

The garden around it is very nice. Feels like a country club with the pond, fountain, and river. Lots of indoor and outdoor searing.

By far my favorite Starbucks to go to. I've read many of the reviews down here and it's clear that the customer is wrong. As always. How ya gonna give two stars for the music? That's a corporate thing, David. You're not mad about the service or drink.. you're mad about the music. Incredible.
